Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Is Mallory Harrington jinxed because her name means luckless? Things have gone wrong for Mallory since she was a small child. All she ever wanted was to have a complete family and live happily ever after. It appears she has it all when she marries Toby Harrington and they have a son. Unfortunately, their marriage ends when Toby has an affair with his law partner. After their divorce, Mallory feels guilt that she couldn't forgive Toby for his affair. As a Christian, she should be able to forgive him for his sin.

Mallory decides to do something for herself, and get a surgical procedure that she's always wanted. What she doesn't expect is her instant attraction to her surgeon.

Sometimes faith is about accepting what can’t be changed and grabbing what God offers her. Life must go on.

As the youngest in the family, growing up on a farm in Findlay, Ohio, Diane often acted out characters from her own stories in the backyard. In high school she was the student sitting in class with a novel hidden in front of her propped up textbook. Before starting on her writing career, Diane was a school teacher and play director.

She enjoys her life with her husband and children in southwestern Ohio. Her husband of thirty-six years is very supportive, as well as her awesome children. Two daughters with special needs live at home with Diane and her husband. She writes historical fiction, contemporary romance, inspirational romance, women's fiction, and chick-lit mystery. Diane published first in nonfiction, and later she decided to also write fiction.

Important Note: A CHRISTMAS GIFT is basically the same story as The CHRISTMAS of 1957 but has been revised with a new chapter and with approximately 8000 words added to the new edition. A CHRISTMAS GIFT has also received great reviews.

4.0 out of 5 stars Delightful, January 3, 2010

This is the second Diane Craver book I've read, and it's a delightful, fun story. Diane's chatty style of writing really capivates me, and makes me feel like I'm one of the gals. I could relate to Mallory's decision very easily as it's something I've contemplated myself. Sometimes it's refreshing to come across characters who make the decisions we're most likely to make, instead of the storybook perfect ones. I gave Mallory four stars because, while I loved it, I liked her other book, 'Whitney in Charge,' a little bit more, and gave it five stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Christian romance from a different perspective, January 8, 2011

This review is from: Marrying Mallory (Kindle Edition)

Marrying Mallory is the story of a young divorcee who wishes to do something for herself for a change - get a nose job. Her handsome plastic surgeon is taken with her at first sight and so a romance begins. What makes this book stand out from the crowd of other Christian romance fiction is the authors treatment of divorce within a Christian context. I applaud Diane Craver for taking on this potentially controversial topic and doing it without a lot of fuss.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review for Marrying Mallory, January 19, 2010

Steph "Author of "The Giving Meadow"" (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Marrying Mallory (Kindle Edition)

Craver pens a heartfelt inspirational romance with "Marrying Mallory." After going through a divorce, Mallory feels its time to do something for herself for once - she wants a rhinoplasty. When she meets her plastic surgeon, Dr. Seth Whitman, the sparks fly between them.

Craver has a writing style that just pulls the reader in. Each character is unique. Seth is a great guy. Mallory is richly complex, struggling with being a divorced Christian. It's this hurdle she has to reconcile before she can give her heart to Seth. Craver's supporting cast is deliciously human. I loved the friendship between Heather, Elizabeth, and Mallory. For me, it was the best part of the book.

There are a few sweet kisses and several loving carresses between Mallory and Seth. The romance is heartwarming between the characters. Like Shawna, I gave this a 4 because while I enjoyed the story, I enjoyed Craver's other release "Whitney in Charge" more.
